Gnocchi with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Traditional gnocchi with sun-dried tomatoes is a simple dish, but one that is bursting with fresh flavors and rustic charm. It’s far easier to make than it seems, and makes for a perfect lunch or dinner!

Gnocchi, a simple pasta made from potatoes, is one of my favorite things to make. I learned how to make it from an old Italian couple that I worked with many years ago. They owned a restaurant in Italy at one time. When I first made gnocchi for Jackie, she adored it, but she always giggles at the way I pronounce the word. Jackie, my ever so beautiful documentarian (with a very endearing nerdy side) likes to pronounce “gnocchi” it with a certain Italian flair. I, on the other hand, Americanize my pronunciation: “knock-y”. However you choose to say it, this stuff is good. And this recipe has become one of our favorites. It is sweet, yet savory and ever so decadent.

How can you not love a pasta made with potatoes? I crave this stuff quite often, which is why I make enough to freeze. It enables me to make quick, delicious dinner in less than 15 minutes. We hope you enjoy this family favorite as much as we do.
